December 7, 1941 A day which will live in infamy

PLease take a moment to remember our WWII vets today. We are losing more and more of them everyday. Within another decade, almost all of them will have passed on.

My Dad was drafted by the ST Louis Cardinals as a senior in high school only to be drafted by Uncle Sam in Aug of 1945 when he turned 18. Served in Nagasaki for 1 1/2 years right after the bomb was dropped. Dont think he has many years left on earth like many of the other WWII vets.

If you know one, epress your gratitude--I know they will deeply appreciate it.

I remember every day. My Father and 2 Father-In-Laws were all Veterans of World War II. All three have passed on.
